Dogtooth (2009)
Directed by Yorgos
Lanthimos this film stars Christos Stergioglou, Aggeliki Papoulia,
Mary Tsoni, Christos Passalis and Michelle Valley. Parents keep their
children isolated from the world and living under a bizarre set of
rules well into their adulthood.
This is one of the
unusual films you will ever see managing to be both dark and bizarre
in such an understated manner it always unsettles but never moves
into horror territory. The plot is often left ambiguous with no
explanations as to why things are happening this way but works well
as a satire for controlling and over protective parents who seek to
keep children locked in childhood. Visually the film is interesting
with shots often unusually framed to give the impression of family
photos or videos that your relatives might force you to sit through.
5/5
